NFB, which is the National Film Board of Canada, has introduced a nice free iPhone/iPod Touch app called NFB Films which brings more than 1000 documentaries, short films, animated movies and more to your iPhone/iPod touch.

The films are streamed over the internet but if you usually aren’t in a Wi-Fi zone then you could also download up to 24 hours of films to your device so that you can watch them when you are bored. They have a diverse range of titles and you could do a search on their site for clips by genre, language, title or the decade. It also includes some Oscar nominated flicks.
